Implementation of an information system for management of a mechanical and electrical installation project
Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to implement an information system for management of a mechanical and electrical installation project for a large-scaled water treatment plant of a case study company. It emphasizes project planning, scheduling, and resource allocation in project life cycle. The result from this thesis is a template for project management process and information system which has a standard format that can be used in future projects. This template is developed from a project that the company has completed and used Microsoft Project as mian tool for information system. Important benefits received from imformation system include better planning, noticeable and completed working steps, productive work process, ability to plan delivery date in time with efficient method, and better work control. By implementing developed system with a case project, it is found that the use of scope management plan helps reducing effect of the changes on the project. Scheduling process is better and completed which results in easier control and on-time delivery of the project. Better resource allocation process and task splitting help reducing resource overallocation problems. Better and more efficient trackingand managing process help the project to finish on schedule and better control on project costs.
